Hi, American Mid-West
Welcoming my first time to Chicago and of course the Midwest of the United States, with our 3-hour delay on the American Airlines. Aparrently there was something wrong with the air traffic control and the air traffic last night. At one point, we were told by the airline staff that our flight was directed to JFK airport in which we were at La Guardia (one of the 3 airports in NY/NJ area). Then it came the captain's announcement that we had to wait besides the runway for our clearance; and that wait lasted for 1.5 hours.Well, finally I got to Chicago O'Hare International Airport at 12:05am eastern time. (which is 11:05pm central time) The compensation was I got to check in the Marriott Hotel with room upgrade and complimentary continental breakfast. That was kind of a reward. More importantly, the kindness of local people here I met so far, the absolutely fresh air and wonderful weather just make me feel relaxed and pleasant! On my way from the airport to the hotel, I actually passed the office that I am going to work in next year, with my rotation here in Illinois.
Time seems to get short these few days: just like in such a short while, I am already moved out from my place in Chelsea and then now to Illinois and heading back to New York will mean I have 2 more days to settle my lugguage and then fly off to Florida. Though I always like flying and I do travel quite frequent (not very); but this is the first time for me having 3 flights in a 6-day interval. Alright in my mind now is all about my Marriott rewards and air miles which all tranlated into Asia Miles for me ^___^
